A Little Brains – a Little Talent

Applegate: There's not a homewrecker on my staff better than you, Lola
 But this fella is stubborn!
 Lola: Ah, chief, you know I've got what it takes
 Don't make me brag!
 I took the zing out of the King of Siam
 I took the starch out of the sails
 Of the prince of Wales
 There's no great art
 Getting the heart of a man
 On a silver platter
 A little brains, a little talent
 With an emphasis on the latter
 I made mincemeat
 Out of a sweet young farmer
 I knocked the fight
 out of a knight
 When I pierced his armor
 And I'll bet, I could upset every male
 In a Yale regatta!
 A little brains, a little talent
 With an emphasis on the latter
 You've gotta know just what to say and how to say it
 You've gotta know what game to play
 And how to play it
 You gotta stack those decks with a coupl'a extra
 Aces
 And this queen has her aces
 In all the right places
 I've done much more
 Than that old bore,
 Delilah
 I took the curl out of the hair
 Of a millionare
 There is no trick
 getting some hick who is cool
 Just a little warmer
 A little talent, a little brains
 With an emphasis on the former
 ♪
 Split up a home
 Way up in Nome, Alaska
 And wreck the life
 Of every wife
 Down in Madagascar
 Ask me why weak men'll die for me
 Strong men simply shatter
 A little brains, a little talent
 With an emphasis on the latter
 You've gotta know just what to do
 And how to do it
 You've gotta know what tea to brew it
 And how to brew it
 You see the sign that said "George Washington once slept here"
 Well though nobody spied him
 Guess who was beside him?
 Bring on that boy, he'll be a toy
 To Lola
 Just one more case she can erase
 With that old boffolo
 What's my plan?
 Same as with every man
 I'll use the standard platter
 Plus a little this-a
 And a little that-a
 With an emphasis on the
 On the latter!
